fired

A solid way to root out the rodent problem that clearly had infested the management team. This barista filmed mice in the cafe she used to work at, and managed to get the store shut down by the Department of Health. 

These people screwed up big enough that they thought they'd be fired on the spot, but apparently life isn't as cutthroat as you'd think sometimes. Whether they had an understanding boss, did the right thing, or just straight up weren't caught, these employees lived to work another day.

This man in New Zealand decided he'd proactively lighten the spirits on the day he was due to get fired, by bringing an "emotional support clown" with him for the event. Can't say we've ever heard of someone adopting this tactic amidst getting fired, but damn if it's one for the books. Twitter users naturally had some jokes to make about the whole madness of the situation. 

Twitter users are cracking jokes about the #signsyouregettingfired. If you find yourself getting pulled into a conference room with a very serious looking manager and the HR department, things might not be looking too good for the time you have left with the company. Or, maybe you show up at the office and there's an empty cardboard box waiting for you on your desk. Hopefully none of these signs that you're getting fired ring any bells. 

There are a lot of reasons to leave a job. Maybe you get a better offer at a different place for more money. Hell, maybe the job just sucks. These people just happened to leave because they were violent, dumb, selfish, creepy and just plain stupid. For more like this, here are some dumbstruck employees sharing stories of their dumbest coworkers.

When the ignorant boss named "Billy" in this equation mistreated the new guys, they banded together and ended up sinking to new lows to get the guy demoted, and then canned. It seems like the bully boss in this equation wasn't properly described in terms of all his faults. Like, anyone else feel a little bit bad for the guy? What made this boss such an insufferable jerk?

A UK steakhouse got some free publicity over the awesome fail of a server who mistakenly served a crazy expensive wine. Seems like a win to be the person who finished dinner and only afterwards realized they drank a bottle of wine that's worth a car. Seriously, each sip of that is worth like 200 dollars. Anyway, it seems like the restaurant was cool about the mistake, so that's nice.

What is there to do when you're wrongfully terminated from an employer that doesn't respect you in the first place? Sure, you could just wash your hands of the whole thing, but where's the fun in that? For more times people took the law into their own hands, here are some acts of gloriously petty revenge.

It being International Workers' Day, Talia Lavin asked people share stories of their most horrible, unfair, incompetent and downright nasty bosses. If you've ever been yelled at for having to take off work for an emergency, or been fired for actually doing your job correctly, these might resonate with you.

Having a less-than-stellar day? Maybe learning about other people's wild misfortunes will put things in perspective. For more, check out fmylife.com

Sometimes you just say that one thing that brings with it the unavoidable reality of your ass getting fired. On. The. Spot. Let us learn from these employees, and their mistakes. That being said, there are definitely some shituations in here, where the companies/managers they were working for were the real problem. A solid spread of dysfunctional going on in this lot. 

Good riddance and good luck to these absolutely delusional and occasional menaces to society! It's a wonder they were hired in the first place. 

There are certain, inexcusable lines you just DON'T cross. 

It's almost like these people wanted to get canned!
